Emeka Egbuka WR | TB
Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Still limited Thursday
Egbuka (illness) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Egbuka maintained his activity level from Wednesday's walkthrough, while the five other Buccaneers that were limited to begin Week 12 prep due to illnesses all got back to full, including QB Baker Mayfield. Fellow WR Chris Godwin (fibula) progressed to a full practice Thursday, but it remains to be seen if that means he's cleared to return for Sunday's game at the Rams. Friday's injury report will reveal if either Egbuka or Godwin enter the weekend with designations.

Keon Coleman WR | BUF
Bills' Keon Coleman: Inactive versus Houston
Coleman is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Texans.
Coleman was also inactive for this past Sunday's win over the Buccaneers after being late to a team meeting, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN. In the 2024 second-rounder's continued absence, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Tyrell Shavers, Gabe Davis and Elijah Moore are slated to handle Buffalo's Week 12 wideout duties, with Coleman's next chance to rejoin the mix arriving Nov. 30 against the Steelers.

Keon Coleman WR | BUF
Bills' Keon Coleman: Expected to be inactive Thursday
Coleman is expected to be a healthy scratch Thursday night against the Texans, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports.
Coleman was inactive for Buffalo's win over Tampa Bay in Week 11 after being late to a team meeting on the Friday prior to the contest. Assuming he's among the Bills' inactives for Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Tyrell Shavers, Gabe Davis and Elijah Moore will handle the team's WR duties versus Houston.

Gabe Davis WR | BUF
Bills' Gabe Davis: Elevated for second straight week
The Bills elevated Davis from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Texans.
Davis is expected to be active for the second game in a row after kicking off his second stint with the Bills in this past Sunday's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers. The 26-year-old wideout started and played 23 of 56 snaps in the victory, finishing with three catches for 40 yards on four targets. With Curtis Samuel (elbow/neck) ruled out for Thursday and with Mecole Hardman (calf) landing on injured reserve, Davis could see his role grow, though quarterback Josh Allen's tendency to spread the ball around among his pass catchers renders Davis a volatile option in Week 12 fantasy lineups.

Mecole Hardman WR | BUF
Bills' Mecole Hardman: Lands on IR
Hardman (calf) was placed on IR by the Bills on Thursday.
Hardman thus is slated to miss at least four games, meaning that he won't play again before Sunday, Dec. 21 against the Browns. His looming absence represents both a hit to Buffalo's depth at wideout as well as the team's return game, but at this stage Hardman is well off the fantasy lineup radar.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Limited Thursday
Wicks (calf) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Wicks has yet to upgrade to full during Week 12 prep as he deals with a lingering calf injury. He was joined as limited Thursday by fellow WRs Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist), Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist), Savion Williams (foot) and even Bo Melton (shoulder). Ultimately, Friday's practice report will unveil who among the group doesn't carry a designation ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Vikings.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Limited again Thursday
Golden (shoulder/wrist) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Golden now has strung together two capped sessions this week, meaning Friday's practice likely will determine if he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Vikings. Aside from Golden, Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist), Dontayvion Wicks (calf), Savion Williams (foot) and Bo Melton (shoulder) also were limited Thursday, so it remains to be seen who among them is actually able to suit up Week 12.

Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Upgrades to limited practice
Williams (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Williams missed Wednesday's session, but it looks like he has a chance to play through his lingering foot injury again Week 12. If Williams manages to upgrade to a full practice Friday, he could even avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's game against the Vikings. The rookie third-round pick's status will be relatively important for the Packers, given that six of the team's wide receivers appear on Thursday's injury report as limited participants.
-
Romeo Doubs WR | GB
Packers' Romeo Doubs: Another limited session
Doubs (wrist) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Doubs maintained his activity level from Wednesday, giving him just one more opportunity this week to prove the health of his wrist ahead of Sunday's game versus the Vikings. The Packers listed five other wide receiver options as limited Thursday -- Christian Watson (knee), Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist), Dontayvion Wicks (calf), Savion Williams (foot) and Bo Melton (shoulder) -- so Friday's injury report will provide insight into who among them doesn't carry a designation into Week 12 action.

Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Remains limited in practice
Thomas (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Though Thomas has been on the field for five consecutive Jaguars practices, he's yet to advance beyond limited participation. With that in mind, Thomas may need to upgrade to full activity Friday to improve his chances of not missing a third straight game this Sunday in Arizona. If Thomas is able to move past the ankle sprain and suit up this weekend, he could be in line for plenty of targets with Travis Hunter (knee) out for the season and with top tight end Brenton Strange (hip) uncertain to be activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday.
